And finally, we know coruba is floated, but the primary spirit is poured out of a clear bottle. I am not quite sold on gin being in the drink, and I believe others have asked and confirmed it is not, but you do read about "Botanicals" in the description. So I suppose the clear spirit poured for the drink rather then being the "well" white rum could be a mix of rum and gin. I am not sure. Maybe if I can bribe the wife I can do research Saturday.

Rawim- Gin is definitely in the drink. In the past I have posted definitively that it is. There is no mystery here and I encourage research. I usually go to Tiki Ti wednesdays when they're running the 6 dollar rays mistake special and they pour really cheap (bartons or Taaka or Krista) Gin by the caseload into those Mistakes. What is interesting is that in this particular cocktail it lends a very nice note to the drink and encourages the other flavors rather than cutting through them. But I've been tracking/lurking this thread for a long time and I feel like the Noyaux discovery is as close as anybody has come to a long time to cracking the recipe so congrats on that.
